Contemporary Casa P12 by Martín Dulanto Architect

Peruvian architectural practice Martín Dulanto Arquitecto has designed the Casa P12 project. Completed in 2012, the contemporary home is located in Cañete, Peru.

The luxury two-storey home blends the indoors and outdoors seamlessly, and brings together the architect’s vision of exploring different blocks and the vacuum generated between the two.

According to the architect: “The volume was proposed as a large white box that has been excavated and within which appear different ‘buckets’ with various materials (wood, exposed concrete, and so forth).

“These ‘cubes’ appear, along the entire project, at different scales: from the main cube, white and continue throughout the entire interior design project, to medium sized cubes as the wood (kitchen), exposed concrete (main bedroom), and painted yellow (guest bathroom), reaching smaller cubes, as some furniture.

“The social area of the first level was designed with a dual purpose – to guide the social area to the park in front of the house, but also to the boardwalk and the beach. And to break the continuity of the orthogonal walls of nearby houses, generating a particular perspective from the road to the park.”
